| | | | Back To The Future
(1985) |
imply one of the best crafted movies ever made and surely a true symbol of 80's movie excellence.
Michael J. Fox stars as Marty McFly, the time travelling teenager, who accidentally travels back in time and learns his family history the best way -by being part of it!
Discouraged by apathetic parents and negative teachers, teenage Marty McFly has formed an unlikely friendship with "Doc Brown", a local inventor and mad professor, played by Christopher Lloyd in a part that surely couldn't have been more perfect for him.
When called to help the "Doc" in his latest experiment late one night, Marty finds that the excited inventor has finally perfected the one invention that has been his obsession for thirty years... A time machine.
This is no ordinary time machine though. In true 80s style, the Doc has built his time machine into a car... A DeLorean, no less!
What follows is an adventure like no other. A witty, clever and highly developed script entertains everyone making a legendary movie that is disliked by virtually no-one. Hollywood has a long tradition of time-travel movies and who could have guessed that the undisputed very best example would come from the 80s?
This is the movie that rightfully made the reputation of director Robert Zemeckis, who later went on to direct such classics as "Forrest Gump" and "Contact" and proved (producer) Steven Spielberg's faith in him was justified. -Spielberg had supported his earlier efforts like "Used Cars" that had been commercial disappointments.
What makes this film so special, is it's perfect blend of ingredients including that spectacular script -also penned by Zemeckis with Bob Gale, excellent direction, production design and, of course, perfect casting choices in the form of Fox as McFly, Lloyd as the contemporary mad professor and Glover who is absolutely brilliant as McFly senior in both eras. Lea Thomson also does a very special job of playing the mother in both time zones.
A towering classic that is a cited example of excellence to everyone, from film students to hardcore sci-fi fans.
One of the rare examples of a movie both kids and parents would both put in their all-time top 10...
Don't forget that Back To The Future is now available to order on Widescreen DVD using our special 80s Retro Assistant...

When Robert Zemeckis was trying to sell the idea of this film, one of the companies he approached was Disney, who turned it down because they thought that the story of a mother falling in love with her son (all be it by a twist of time travel) was too risque for a film under their banner. -Thanks to Belch

When Marty is late for school and hitches a ride (on his skateboard) by grabbing onto the back of a Jeep Wrangler. The driver of the Jeep is often said to be either Steve Spielberg, Robert Zemeckis or Harrison Ford, but is in fact stunt coordinator, Walter Scott.
The first prototype of the DeLorean was reported to be driven the very first time on October 26th, 1977. The DeLorean made its first time travel exactly eight years after this date.
Michael J Fox grew up in British Columbia, Canada in a city called Burnaby. There is a theatre named after after him there now, called the Michael J. Fox theatre (obviously), which is connected to Burnaby South Secondary School, the 1993 replacement for his old high school, Burnaby North. -Thanks to Jaime Benes
Michael J Fox also gives away several art scholarships to students in the Burnaby School District every year. -Thanks to Marina
Crispin Glover, who play's George McFly, the father of Marty (Michael J. Fox), is actually younger than Fox by about 3 years. The father was born after his son! -Thanks to David Jones
One scene that was originally in the movie showed Marty, in 1955, at the high school that his parents attend, and he looks into a classroom and sees his mom cheating on an exam. This is interesting because she, in 1985, is preaching good habits to her children. This scene was filmed to portray that Lorraine wasn't exactly an angel in her teen years, but eventually removed from the movie. -Thanks to Rohit
Although the Ronald Reagan line is one of the best laughs in the movie, co-screenwriter Bob Gale is actually a Republican and has stated that he's been an anti-Communist for a long time. -Thanks to John Edward Kilduff
The manure truck is owned by D. Jones, a family run business stretching back to at least 1885 when it was run by A. Jones. D. Jones is a reference to BTTF Unit Production Manager Dennis E. Jones, who also served in that capacity on the SF films The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai across the 8th Dimension and Twilight Zone: the Movie. -Thanks to Alex Sahounov
Actress Deborah Harmon was the TV reporter at the beginning of "Back to the Future". She also starred in "Used Cars" with Kurt Russell, and in the '80's sitcom, "Just the Ten of Us". She currently does voice-overs for 'Honeysuckle White' poultry commercials. -Thanks to Amy Green
The large amplifier Marty plugs his guitar into right at the start of the movie is labelled "CRM-114" which is also the name of the message decoder on a B-52 in "Dr. Strangelove" and the serial number of the Jupiter explorer in "2001: A Space Odyssey".
The clock seen at the beginning of the film with Doc hanging off it is actually a nick-nack clock - it depicts a famous scene from a film called "The Sin of Harold Diddlebock" which in turn is a remake of a silent movie called "Safety Last".
Marty McFly is secretly a librarian! A magazine at the head of Marty's bed is clearly one called "RQ", which is of interest only to librarians!
When Einstein (Doc's dog) returns from the first ever time-travel experiment the time is 1:21am. Is it a coincidence that the DeLorean needs 1.21 Jigawatts to run?
The Chime of the Clock Tower in 1955 is the same as the chime in the 1960 movie The Time Machine based on the story by H.G. Wells. -Thanks to Belch
One of the clocks at the start of the movie --the cat with its eyes moving and tail wagging-- is also seen in another Zemekis movie, "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids". It's in the family kitchen. -Thanks to Chris Lennon
In the scene where Marty is talking to Doc before he goes back home to the future, a man in a hat riding past on a bicycle is used in the sequel to portray Doc from the future. The writers, throughout the rest of the movies however, do not do this sort of thing anywhere else in the trilogy. They do not appear to support the actual theories of Time Travel that are used in many films and TV dramas where someone from another time affects the present in some way or another, and later we see what they actually did to make it happen. One example would be in BTTF II when Marty stumbles across himself and his mother 'parked' in the car. He ducks and falls against the car. In the scene from inside the car in the first movie there was no unseen impact on the side of the car where Marty fell against it as they were talking as there should have been. -Thanks to Dominic Paris
I thought that this was more of a story point but so many people wrote in to mention it that I thought I'd include it: Marty departs from the Twin Pines Mall. When he arrives in 1955, he accidentally knocks over a pine tree at the Twin Pines Ranch. When he returns to the mall after returning to 1985, it is now called the Lone Pine Mall. -Thanks to the many people who wrote in with that.
Crispin Glover's other movies included "Wild at Heart" and "River's Edge". After the success of the Back to the Future films, the quirky man allegedly made an a** of himself on David Letterman, resulting in him seeming to disappear from the movie scene for several years, re-appearing in Charlie's Angels as a hair obsessed villian (yes, you read that right, hair obssessed) -Thanks to Chris Peterson
Crispin Glover also had a small role as Matt Lattanzi's buddy in "My Tutor". -Thanks to Alister
Crispin Glover also had a small role in the show "Family Ties" playing a friend to Michael J. Fox's character, Alex P. Keaton, when the show first started. -Thanks to Julie Wender
Crispin Glover's father Bruce Glover played the gay Bond villian, Mr. Whint in "Diamonds are Forever" in 1971. -Thanks to 80'S Guy
The date Marty Mcfly travels back in time to, November 5, is the same date of time travel in Time After Time (1979) -Thanks to Ian Ritson
This was Billy Zane's ("Cal" from Titanic) first movie. He played one of Biff's friends in both the first and second Back to the Future. -Thanks to Charbrat
Did anyone recognize the second thug? It's none other than Young Guns star Casey Siemaszko. -Thanks to Phantom Planet
In the credits they list the guy wearing the 3-D glasses as 3-D. -Thanks to Angela Elias
In a tribute to producer Steve Spielberg, the title sign on the movie theater reads "A boys life, Watch the skies". The sign read exactly the same outside the theater in the beginning of the movie "Gremlins", which was also produced by Spielberg. "A boys life!" and "Watch the skies" were early working titles for the movies that became E.T. and Close Encounters -Thanks to Lisa Keister And Dave Olden
In 1985, you meet that old homeless man that Marty refers to as "Red". Well, in 1955, Mayor Red Thomas is running to be re-elected. It seems planned to show his fall from grace, but the fact is that Michael J. Fox ad-libbed the name Red (or maybe Brad -its hard to tell) for the bum. -Thanks to Micah J. Duckless &Amp; Tori Sheldon
Double 80's Movie Legend: Marc McClure played Jimmy Olsen in all five Superman / Supergirl movies and played Marty McFly's brother in the Back to the Future films.
Huey Lewis is one of the judges of Marty's band who ironically does not like Marty's band's take on his song. "I'm sorry, you're just too darn loud," he tells them. -Thanks to Barry Freiman
November 5th is the birthdate of Bob Gale's father.
Marty's bandmate at the "Battle of the Bands" (the blonde guy w/ the sunglasses) was actually Michael J. Fox's guitar teacher for the film.
The farm that Marty drives through when he goes back to 1955 belongs to the "Peabody" Family. The son's name is "Sherman". This is a reference to the characters of "Sherman and Mr. Peabody", the time-travellers from the cartoon series, ROCKY & BULLWINKLE. -Thanks to Matthew Ryan
The tunnel that was used for both Back to the Future I and II was used as the tunnel to get into Toon Town in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit!" -Thanks to Jess
Michael Balzary (also known as Flea) of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, played the character "needles". -Thanks to Rottenpixies
If I remember correctly, in an episode of the animated version of Back to the Future, which is currently re-airing on Fox, Marty meets a rival scientist that reveals Doc Brown's full name to be Emmet Lithium VonBraun. But as the Doc clarified in part 3, it was changed to Brown possibly because of WWII. -Thanks to Johnny C.
In the begining of the movie when Marty and Jennifer walk up the stairs to the high school, if you look closely at the side you can see BOB in graffiti, put there in honor of Bob the producer! -Thanks to Hans Rojas
In the scene before Marty goes to the dance, where he and Doc are talking, in the back-ground you see a man go by on a bike wearing a hat. In the sequel we see that the man was actually the Doc from the future. -Thanks to Zeb
If you look very closely in the scene at the end of the movie where Marty's trying to tell Doc he will get shot, you see a man on a bycicle with a hat on ride by. This was not in the script, but Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis used it in Back to the Future Part 2. After Marty and Doc return to 1955 to get the Almanac, Doc is on a bycicle and has bought a hat for diguise. Now, it makes it look like it was Doc himself that rode by in part 1. -Thanks to Lindsey D.
In the scene where Marty jumps into the DeLorean wearing the yellow radiation suit to escape the Libyans, it is actually Eric Stoltz jumping into the car, look carefully!! -Thanks to Richard Humphreys
The clocktower has been burnt three different times after part three was made. -Thanks to Lindsey D.
The serum used for the Ludiviggo Treatment in "A Clockwork Orange" was known as Serum 114, as was the amp Marty blows up (CRM-114). -Thanks to Dutch

| | | | Eric Stoltz was originally cast to play the role of Marty McFly, but he was replaced by Fox after several weeks shooting, apparently because he didn't act enough like a teenager.
During the filming at the car park, by the mall, it was very cold which meant the gas in the door struts would condense causing the doors to fall down by themselves -Thanks to David Smith
Actually, the producers of the film wanted Fox first, but didn't anticipate the unexpected break in the shooting of his hit TV show "Family Ties" schedule. When the break did come, they halted shooting with Stoltz and went back to their original choice of Fox. It was a scheduling conflict that originally allowed Stoltz to star but an unexpected break in shooting that allowed Fox to appear in the movie. -Thanks to Dan Grubb
Crispin Glover did not appear in either of the sequels due to a breakdown in contract negotiations, and this is why the storyline about him being shot in the alternate 1985 was written into the second movie. It was required, however, that his character appeared on the second film because Marty goes back to 1955 again, so the producers used what footage they could from the first film and used a stand-in with a fake nose (!) to shoot scenes they couldn't build up from archive footage. I have heard that Crispin Glover attempted to sue them for using the archive footage but I don't know whether this is true or if it is, what the outcome was. -Thanks to Rob
In response to Rob's trivia, Crispin Glover did attempt to sue Spielberg, and won the case. As a result, SAG (Screen Actor's Guild) added new regulations about using an actor's image onscreen. -Thanks to Phil2k
The Mr. Fusion generator Doc attachs to the DeLorean at the end of the first movie is actually just a coffee grinder. -Thanks to Belch
The DeLorean cars were built in Dunmurry, a short distance south of the city of Belfast in Northern Ireland. Only 8,583 DeLoreans were manufactured in 1981, 1982, and 1983: 6,539, 1,126, and 918, respectively. Of those, about 6,000 are believed to be in circulation - a few hundred of them outside the United States. -Thanks to Simon Lennox
The same set used for the town of "Hill Valley" in BTTF is the heart of Universal Studios in LA. It's also seen as "Kingston Falls" in "Gremlins" and "Ghost Whisperer". -Thanks to Simon Lennox
Marty banging his head on the door of the DeLorean (which happened several times) was never scripted, he did it by accident but they kept it in the movie.
The character name of Emmett (Doc's name) comes from the word "time", spelled backwards and pronounced as syllables (em-it). Doc Brown's middle initial is "L" but no name was ever actually given. Bob Gale, the film's writer, was asked about this and gave him the name "Lathrop" (almost "portal" backwards - see above) -Thanks to Belch
There was a scene that was cut from the movie during which George McFly (being the pushover that he is) buys an entire case of peanut brittle from a little girl who was selling it door-to-door. The payoff for that scene is when George is eating peanut brittle for dinner.
Every scene that was shot at the "Twin Pines Mall" had to be shot after Christmas and late at night due to the fact that there were twice as many shoppers, and the mall was decorated with Christmas lights.
A "Black Pride" organization were upset with the creators of BTTF. They claimed that it was wrong to suggest that Marty, a white man, invented rock 'n' roll by playing Chuck Berry's (a black man) Johnny B. Goode before it was even released. -Thanks to Seth Malin
Lea Thompson played two different versions of her character, Marty's mother, in both 1955 and 1985. The latter took three hours to apply the make-up to her face and the rest of her body.
When Doc was sending Einstien through time, he wasn't really using a control device. There was a man in a dog suit driving.
80s legend C. Thomas Howell was Robert Zemeckis' second choice for Marty McFly. -Thanks to Steve
The first voice you hear in BTTF, (the man on the radio talking while the pan of all the radios is being shown) is also the voice of the major toy, Furby and the original voice of Goofy. His name is Tony Pope. -Thanks to Marcella
The street where George gets hit by the car is the same one they used when filming Teen Wolf. -Thanks to Jordan Dutton
The 1950s scenes were shot before all of the 1980s scenes. They first built a perfect looking town for the '50s, then grunged it down for the '80s scenes.
The first idea for time traveling was not by lightning, but by a nuclear explosion. The first script had them go to a nuclear site to be able to time travel. Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis decided that would be too expensive and chose lightning instead.
Michael J Fox is really not playing or singing Johnny Be Good. The music and singing were both pre-recorded. Michael did have to learn the song note for note to make it look like he was playing it. At the end of the film, his character Marty McFly gets credits for singing the song.
Originally, the studio boss wanted to make certain changes (Professor Brown --> Doc Brown, Chimp -> dog (no movie with a chimp makes a profit), Marty's mom's name from Meg to something else, (incidently Lorainne is his wife's name) including the title of the movie. He was the only one who didn't like the title, "Back to the Future" but the makers stuck to their guns. The alternate title, was "Spaceman from Pluto". The studio boss sent a memo outlining changes to the script for the new title and they didn't know what to do as he was the BIG BOSS of the company. In the end Stephen Spielberg sent a reply saying (paraphrase), "Dear Sid, thank you so much for your most humorous memo, we really all got a good laugh out of it!" So the name stuck as Spielberg knew he would be too proud to admit that he had been deadly serious! -Thanks to Roisin
Marty got a four wheel drive Toyota pick-up truck at the end of the movie. At first it was planned to be a Toyota Supra sports car, but replaced with the pick-up truck because of the changing trends of american car buyers. -Thanks to Alo
You can clearly see in the scene where Doc is hanging from the clocktower that he is wearing velcro shoes. Velcro shoes were not invented in 1955.
I have noticed in the end of the movie when Biff brings in the box of books for George Mcfly, When they open the box it is full to the top with books and bubble wrap but when they change camara angles the books and bubble wrap are not to be seen. -Thanks to Frank Scarangella
During the Twin Pines Mall chase, the Delorean loses 12 miles off the mileometer... Obviously a mistake overlooked in editing. I only spotted this because I have seen the movie so many times! -Thanks to Jason Davies
The guitar used by Marty at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance (1955) wasn't invented until 1957! -Thanks to Bryan Skorczewski
In the first scene we are introduced to the Delorean, Doc radio controls the car for the first time travel experiment. When he brings the car to a "smoke show" before releasing it, there's a close-up shot at the remote. Notice that the needle of the battery meter on the remote is on the red - just like if the remote wasn't switched on. When the batteries of these remotes are full charge, the needle goes way to the right when switched on. Unless of course the circuitry was by-passed or tampered for the prop's use in the movie. -Thanks to Martin Rocque
In the movie, it can clearly be seen that the DeLorean's speedometer reads a maximum speed of 95 mph. This is clearly an alteration on the car since all DeLoreans built had speedometers that only went up to 85mph (sports cars built between 1981-1985 were only legally allowed to read up to 85 mph) -Thanks to Nick A.
When Marty first arrives in 1955, it's 1:30 in the morning when he crashes into the barn and it's dark. When he drives off and notices "Lyon Estates", it's daylight. How did anyone not find the time machine hidden behind the huge board? It's not as if it's a packet of peanuts, and surely there would have been construction workers on site before he and doc went back! -Thanks to Andy
Throughout the movie the amount of electrical power needed to run the time machine is said to be "1.21 Gigawatts" (pronounced with a soft 'g' like genesis). However, this should be pronounced Gigawatts (with a hard 'g' like girl) which is equal to 1.21x10^9 or 1,210,000,000 Watts. -Thanks to Graham Erickson
I have noticed recently, after watching the 1st and 2nd film one after the other, that in the first film, just after George knocks Biff out and Marty comes rushing through the crowd, the boy and girl standing there who say "who is that guy? George McFly, that's George Mcfly?" are completely different actor and actress in the 2nd film! For a start the girl in the first film was a brunette, in the 2nd film she was blonde. When you saw Marty push through them in the 1st film, he literally shoved them out of the way, whereas in the 2nd film, he just brushes past them!! -Thanks to Amy Ward
When Marty walks from the "soon to be Lyon Estates" in 1955, the sign says that Hill Valley is 2 miles away. Presumably, he drove from Peabody's Farm to that point; yet in the future, it only takes him 10 minutes to run from downtown to "Lone Pine Mall." Did Marty run two 5-minute miles? -Thanks to Brad
When Marty writes the note to Dr. Brown about the day he went back in time, (warning him of his impending death) he signs his name (Marty) and the "y" is different from when Dr. Brown shows him the taped together version after traveling back to the future. The one that he writes in 1955 the "y" has a loop, but when seen back in 1985 it does not. I have seen this movie too many times! -Thanks to Ross Blum
The scene where Marty and George are hanging clothes to dry and talking about the plan for the dance,you can see Marty's flap on his pocket is in, then the next scene that shows him it is out. -Thanks to Kenny Holford
When Marty plugs in the cord (stereo plug) into his guitar, the other end that's plugged into the amp is suddenly a mono plug (tip/sleeve as opposed to tip/ring/sleeve). Furthermore, Marty has already maxed out the volumes and overdrives BEFORE plugging in his guitar. If this truly happened, the amp or speaker would have blown up the instant he plugged the guitar cord into the amp, as the connectors briefly short out (+/-) while plugging them in. -Thanks to Jake_jacobs
When marty first meets Doc in the past, he tells him that Ronald Reagan is president. Then Doc says "then I guess the first lady is Jane Wyman..", but Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman were actually divorced in 1949 and he was married to Nancy Davis in 1952. -Thanks to Jarett
In the Darth Vader scene in 1955, Marty has a hairdryer is his belt in one shot, in the next shot it is gone, and when it cuts back the hairdryer has returned. -Thanks to Supertastic
When Marty goes into the diner he tries to order a Pepsi Free and then a Tab, then he just says to give him something without any sugar in it. The Diner guy gives him a coffee and lays his change on the counter. My question is- What did Marty pay him with? Did he have currency from 1955 in his pocket? Because if he didn't, then there would be some evidence of newer coins in that cash register, unless by some freak accident he had 30 year old coins or older in his pocket... -Thanks to Ryan Moore
The original Air date of the "Classic Honeymooners" ("Man from Space") episode that they are watching at his grandparents family dinner table (after he wakes up from being hit by the car) is December 31, 1955. More than a month after Marty's arrival. -Thanks to David
When Marty goes back in time and is chased by Biff's gang, you can see that he is wearing Blue Converse sneakers. However, on the night that he goes back to the future, he is seen pushing the pedal in Nike shoes. Did he bring an extra pair of shoes with him to the past? I doubt it. -Thanks to Annie
When Marty arrives in 1955, and is walking around Hill valley town square, he believes he is in a dream; he picks up a newspaper from a wastebin to check the date. Notice that before he picks the newspaper out of the trash his hair is flat and very messy. After he looks at the newspaper his hair is perfectly tidy and styled! -Thanks to Natasha
